Just watched gameplay of unreleased game plants vs zombies 3 . Its so bad, original from 2009 is milion times better.

And same goes for all other games. Why are old games better than new ones, they dont put any efort today to make good quality game.

It looks like they just want to make it quick and cheap. No wonder games are so lov quality…

    Because of investors needing a quick “win” with a game studio acquisition, and because gamers buy the slop that someone managed to shit out while trying to appease those investors.

    The investors cash out and are emboldened to go burn some other game studio into the ground again. If the studio hasn’t imploded badly enough yet, the investors demand another game with whatever IP “worked” last time, but at a lesser budget with more aggressive deadlines, so the next result that is shit out is worse, but players still buy it.

    The cycle continues endlessly, it’s the same pattern in every industry because it’s all the same tiny group of investors with “diversified portfolios” ruining everything in the name of profit.

      Not just investors. Capitalists in general. The stock market just makes it much easier for capitalists to pretend that profit at any expense is wise.
